Interesting, because if you're not subscribed, you can't post this message to

the group. You may have 'nomail' turned on. I'll fix it up for you Sharon,

Chris.

I am in need of some assistance. My computer crashed. I think I have

the problem fixed but I am no longer getting mail from the group

(several days now). Could someone help me get back on the list. Thank

you. Sharon

- I could send mail, just couldn't receive. It was a problem

with my e-mail program. I sure wish I had taken computer lessons

rather than music lessons as a kid so that I knew what the heck I was

doing! Thanks Sharon

Have been receiving 2, 3 & sometime 4 or more of the same

e-mails posted on . This redundancy occurred on

several of the Vet e-lists in the past, as well as key

persons having major computer problems.

Coincidence? Maybe.

Interference with communications? Possibly.

I have also had the repeated messages. I thought it was just me. But I

guess not. Is it a coincidence? I don't think so.

Ray,

Do you find that the medication is not as effective if you take it more than

a few days in a row?

I have a bottle of it but I am afraid to take it. I am afraid my tolerance

will go up and then when REALLY need it it won't work. So now it's two years

old.

I was curious if there was an effective pain medication that a person does

not develope such a rapid tolerance for.

I have a question for the list.

I also have some prednisone that is a year older than the expiration date on

the manufacturer's bottle.

Must I throw it out? Or are older medicines just " weaker " ?

Thanks,

Pris

[Guest guest]

Pris, sometimes it may be okay to take expired medicine if it is only a month

or so expired. The problem with expired medications is that some will not be

as effective and with some others, the chemicals may become toxic or will

have some evaporated portions of ingrediants, making the drug too strong. In

a pinch, I sometimes have gone ahead and taken expired meds...so far, so

good. But we shouldn't make a habit of it...there could be a chance of a

problem...either they won't be effective or a little more toxic than they

should be.

You also asked a question: <<What is unigue about this disease, vs

arthritis?>>

There are between 150-170 different kinds of arthritis! Reiter's Syndrome is

one of them. It is called a syndrome because, along with the inflammatory

arthritis of a knee, or an ankle, with reddness and or swelling, or lower

back pain, there also may be rashes on the bottom of their feet/hands. They

may have ulcers in mouth or genitals and they may have bladder problems

(Cystitis or prostate inflammation) and eye conjunctivitis. These symptoms

are not usually seen in the other types of arthritis.Spondys

(Reiter's/AS/ReA/Psoriasis/Crohn's Disease are also not positive for RA blood

factor. The unigue thing about this disease...is that in most cases it will

burn itself out in 6 months to a year. Those that have stayed in our group

have a chronic form and that is why you hear about them...but there have been

many others that have touched base with us for a few months and then have

gone on to live their normal lives. There are more out there that are in long

standing remissions than those in the group that are chronically ill. That

gives hope to the majority of people with Reiter's. Even with AS, everyone is

different in the progression of the disease. Some have a more aggressive

disease than others, some have a very mild form. Doctors have a scale that

they determine during an exam....where you fit into that scale. It has to do

with your mobility, signs of inflammation, xrays (whether it has progressed

up the spine and how far. This is mainly for AS. You mentioned that you were

32 yrs. old, had RS and AS, but that you only had the symptoms for two years.

Usually, it takes Ankylosing Spondylitis between 5-10 years to show up on

xray in women. And you mentioned that you were HLA B27 neg. The newer reports

are saying that 98% of AS patients are HLA B27positive. Were you the one that

said you had psoriasis too? I just read that there is a new antigen factor

listed for psoriasis. I don't know if they are testing yet for these genetic

factors...but you might ask your doctor?

Hi Pris,

Hope you don't mind if I jump in here. I've been on OxyContin since January

of 2000 and was on MS Contin for several years before that. The dosage of

neither med has had to be raised. There have been several times during

flares when I was told to take an extra Vioxx (2 doses per day instead of

1) for a week to 10 days to help bring the flare under control. I've found

that the OxyContin (40mg 2X daily) is as effective now as it was 2 years

ago. On Saturday, my wife and I spent the day with her dad and I was late

with my second dose. I knew it, quickly. But it was still effective once I

took it.

Everyone of us will react differently to the same med, and there are some

tolerance issues for some. For the most part, narcotic pain meds are very

effective and safe for most patients. Ray has posted some excellent

articles on narcotic pain meds and I'm sure they are in the archives. If

you can't locate them, I believe I have copies of several on my hard drive

and can send them to you.

One other thing: Pain meds are much more effective if you take them on a

set schedule, ahead of the worst of the pain. They need to build up to a

certain level in your bloodstream to work best and if you let the pain get

bad before taking them, the catch-up time is longer and it will probably

not work as well.

[Guest guest]

Granny, I am the one with psoriasis. I have it active now. Do you think

the Doc could find the antigen for it better when it is active? I was in the

hospital in Nov. with a kidney infection, and when I got out, even though I

took a1000mg Cipro a day for 10 days, then Levequin IV then pills for a week,

I hurt so bad all over for about 2 weeks. I could hardly move. I am still

down a lot from the pain and nothing helps. I go to the kidney Doc this

Tues., and I am going to take some of the RISG info I copied. And I go to

the Rheumy Jan 14, and going to take him the same info. Hopefully they can

get together and find out what I can do about dealing with this pain. My

kidney is really bad, and they don't want to give me too much meds because of

it, but I hurt so bad, I'm in a catch 22. I had my other kidney removed in

1993 for the same problems this one is giving me. No more to spare. Anyway,

psoriasis is a 6 generation thing so far in my family that I know of. My Mom

is just starting to feel the pain inside from it, and she is 73. Active 73.

So she had a lot on the outside for years, mine has been both inside and out.

Thanks for listening. EFD Oregon

Please be careful. My son was struck by lightning when he was 13. We are in a

lightning survivors research group and have a lot of people that were struck

through the computer and/or phone lines. Stay away from anything electrical

when it is thundering (thunder is the sound after the lightning). Isn't there

some kind of lemon law that if it has to be replaced three times you get a new

computer?

[ ] Computer Problems

Hi, everybody,

I have had major computer problems this summer. In May lightning ran in

and messed up my computer. I was unable to go online for a month until

it was finally fixed. About a month later, lightning again ran in and

messed it up! This time it didn't take as long to diagnose the problem

and get it fixed since I was getting to be an old hand at this.

It worked fine for a couple of days, and then I started having trouble

getting it to come on. After a couple of days I could not get it to

come on no matter what I tried. I took it to CompUSA to be repaired,

but I also got a new computer. I decided that I need a spare. Also, my

extended warranty with CompUSA on the old one runs out August 20.

I found out today that they have ordered a new logic board. This will

be the fourth one they have had to put into that computer, because

lightning also ran in and messed it up two years ago. The extended

warranty has certainly been worthwhile, and of course I got one with my

new computer.

I've known for a while that I am a lemon magnet and a disease magnet.

Now it seems that I am also a lightning magnet. Or to sum it up, a bad

luck magnet. If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. LOL I

try not to let it get me down, though, but I don't bother to enter many

contests.

Anyway, I feel somewhat out of the loop here, even though I have

finally caught up with the messages. I wish for all of you some

pain-free days.

Becky,

I was not near the computer when lightning ran in those three times.

Actually, the Apple warranty lasted for just one year so it was still

under that warranty the first time. I had a 3-year extended warranty

with CompUsa, so that covered the computer the other times. I don't

consider the computer a lemon, since it couldn't help being harmed by

lightning.

One problem is that the ethernet card, which was what was damaged, was

welded to the logic board, so the entire logic board had to be replaced

each time.

I have always been afraid of lightning and therefore try to be careful

during a thunderstorm. It can't be any fun to be struck, but I guess

your son is very lucky to be alive.

Dear Bob,

Computer help is not off-topic because we have all suffered from time to

time

from internet grief, which interferes with our ability to search out good

information on health issues.

I myself have benefited from the information about ad aware that was posted

a few

months back, and again a few days ago, and recently I added the Google

toolbar,

which blocks popups nicely.

I wouldn't have known about these things except for kind people sharing the

info.

Best of Health!

Thanks for the go-ahead to share helpful computer info, Saul.

Ad Aware is a great free program for nailing and removing annoying

adware programs.

If you also want to kill the more obnoxious spyware programs then one of

the best free programs around is called Spybot.

It can be downloaded from:

http://www.download.com/?tag=cnetfd.sb

Just type 'spybot' (no quotation marks) in the SEARCH window, download

and install.

Between these two programs you can keep your computer free of the most

common and annoying adware and spyware junk.

They both work great and offer regular updated data files to combat the

ever-evolving intrusive software generated by people

who think ethics refers to a person of a different race.

Cheers,

Colin Yardley

Liz,

I suggest you do the following. Change to BT Broadband - either the Broadband

per se that comes WITHOUT email addresses, or Broadband OpenWorld that comes

with approx 5 free email addresses.

If the former, buy yourself your own .com name, find a small company who would

" host " that for you and have all your emails come into one location, i.e.

Outlook. That program also acts as a diary, calendar, reminder and database for

names/addresses/tel nrs.

I have Windows XP and I use Outlook (or you can use Outlook Express) for my

other email correspondence. You might ask why is the Scoli Group stuff coming

thru to AOL for me, but that is because there is so much of it and I chose to

separate it completely from everything else.

Hi

I still have trouble getting into certain sites with Wanadoo, I have changed my settings to medium on security.

I can find some of the sites with google or Ask Jeeves so why can I not find the site through my internet provider, sometimes and msn cause problems with their search engine too.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I trust you are OK.

Many thanks

Hello Liz,

You may have to set it to LOW security. First... make sure you dont

have the CONTENT ADVISOR turned on. Its in TOOLS ---> INTERNET

OPTIONS under the CONTENT tab. If its on it could sensor out certain

websites. If you change your security to low make sure you have a

good virus protector. You can also try and call your internet

provider. You are paying them money for a service you arent getting

correctly. All of them should have free help lines. Let me know if

any of this helps. I can always do a screen capture of what my

settings are so that you can see what I have. It could just be your

provider though. I use Earthlink. They are cheap and I think

nationwide. I like that I can switch from broadband to dial up and

keep my email address the same. They offer both services.
